The Stretching process.

Before I saw a carpet being stretched for the first time I thought it had to be some type of amazing process. The reality was simple, the carpet got reinstalled again. For this reason a room will need to be emptied of furniture prior to the stretching.

Stretching has a big advantage over replacement. A new carpet will most likely need to be restretched at some point in the future (7-10 years). An already loose carpet that gets stretched will not. In my 24 years in business I have never seen a carpet s get loose twice. This is why I guarantee the jobs I do for life.

Also, if you have a nylon carpet that is 15 to 20 years old or maybe older it is very likely that it is of higher quality that what you will find commonly available nowadays. It is my experience that, if you are replacing your carpets to sell you house chances are that you will be buying the cheapest stuff you can find that looks ok. Most likely that will be a polyester carpet that at best would look good for a few months. not only the of replacing will be much higher but you will be making a disservice to the new owners. Do yourself a favor and text me or email me a picture for a free evaluation of your.

We use a power stretcher in every job. The head of the power stretcher (on the left) gets attached to pipes that push from an opposite wall. In order to get a quality job done it is imperative that this tool gets used.

It takes longer and it is more cumbersome to use a power-stretcher as a tool it also costs several time more than a knee-kicker (pic below). As it name implies gets its power from the knee. This tool was designed to aid on the installation process by helping to grab the carpet and make small adjustments but not for stretching it.

Now that you know the difference you should ask what tool will be used so you are not comparing apples to oranges when getting different price quotes.
